Well, that had a lot of potential, and a lot of atmosphere, but as with all Poe & Lovecraft short stories, the conclusion has to be unsatisfying because otherwise the vast cosmic horror doesn't work.
Good effort for a Corman film, on a par with lesser Hammer films.
But I think there was a better plot to be had in the back-half, even preserving the twist.

TIL why Witchfinder General (1968) is also called The Conqueror Worm.
Vincent Price: thatβs enough Edgar Allen Poe adaptations for me! For a change of pace, Iβm going to England to make a film about a murderous Witchfinder General.
American International Pictures: Vincent, would you mind reciting Edgar Allen Poeβs poem βThe Conqueror Wormβ for us? Umm, no reasonβ¦

And the twist is that he was only hallucinating the fire and strangling the cat, and actually he was strangling the already dead fox...
... but then he realises him strangling the dead fox was a hallucination, and he was really strangling the corpse of Ligeia...
.. but that was also a hallucination, and he was actually just strangling fish-lipped cuck-guy lawyer.

So hypnosis powers, or magic, made him only hallucinate Rowena's death...
... and trick him into strangling her presumably to death...
... but magic means Ligeia is possessing the cat, or he's just deluded himself into thinking the cat is Ligeia...
... but actually the cat is just a dick β possibly because Ligeia hypnotised it into being a dick...
... so he's going to kill the cat and burn down the abbey for the crime of outliving his dead wife.

I've really lost track of who is-and-isn't dead at this point.
Did she die of a careless and needless hand wound she got on a mirror for no reason?
Did the cat try to bring her back with fishy kiss-of-life, and then get killed by being shoved off a bed, and then use its resurrection powers on itself instead, and then bring Ligeia back from the dead?
